Seller’s insight We fell in love with Hilldrop Cottage the first time we stepped foot through the front door.
For us it was the perfect combination of country cottage charm with an unusual abundance of space!
Tucked away with a tranquil and secluded garden that's perfect to just relax in and great for entertaining.
Our personal favourites are the wisteria canopy and clematis arch which look amazing when in flower.
We are in the perfect location for lazy Sunday walks with the dogs, our favourite chalkney woods just a 5 mins walk from our door, even better it's very conveniently positioned exactly between the pubs in Chappel and Earls Colne!
We'll be very sad to leave and a new business venture on the horizon is the reason should you be wondering.
